About Astonishingly Aston

A guided tour of Aston Hall with a changing schedule of exciting and interesting tours. 

The last Friday of the month we will be running Aston Under Siege, a fascinating insight into the role Aston Hall played in the English Civil War and why we have cannon ball damage on our Grand Staircase! 

We will also have handling tables, room spotlights and more, so come along, be curious and uncover the wonderful history of this 17th century gem!

Pre-booking is advised: tickets are available online as an add-on activity when you purchase your admission tickets.
